Few words of Pixie
If you consider yourself as a true coffee lover then you must know about the Nespresso Pixie series of coffee makers ― those small masterpieces for home coffee brewing.
Coffee machines of the Pixie collection are regarded as ones of the smallest in the world. They combine a brand-new design with a great functionality. Rather low price (less than $120 ) made them one of the most desirable coffee makers for the small households, kitchens, offices and dining rooms.
Well, why not?
Pixie C60 Espresso Maker ― what’s the animal?
Nespresso had worked out the new conception of modern design and functionality combination where one complements the other. Compact, stylish, elegant body of bright aluminum with soft angles has quite an amazing power of pump pressure: it’s almost 19 bars. You can realize this power by knowing that the pressure of 17 bars. is usually enough for espresso brewing!
The high-pressure allows brewing espresso in so-called barista-style with saving the most delicate aroma and flavor of each capsule. Coffee out of Pixie Espresso Maker turns out rich, intense with dense unctuous crema on its surface.
